Sovryn introduces decentralized Bitcoin-backed Sovryn Dollar, to combat centralized Stablecoins

London, UK, March 16, 2023, Chainwire

Sovryn, the leading Bitcoin-based decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, launches Sovryn Dollar (DLLR). Sovryn Dollar introduces a new stablecoin standard, 100% backed by Bitcoin to provide unmatched censorship resistance, security and reliability. In response to regulatory and banking issues centralized stablecoins have recently experienced, Sovryn Dollar offers a decentralized alternative, backed by and redeemable for, Bitcoin. Sovryn Dollar goes live today and is available globally.

Sovryn Dollar gives users the opportunity to have a stable and reliable digital asset that is linked to the US dollar without being exposed to the risks associated with centralized stablecoins such as Tether or USDC.

Centralized stablecoins have long been a point of concern for the cryptocurrency community. These coins, like Tether, have been criticized for their lack of transparency and for being vulnerable to transaction censorship, raising concerns about their long-term stability. Centralized stablecoins have also frozen user funds in response to regulatory pressure. Recent events have added to questions surrounding the long-term viability of most current stablecoins.

In contrast, Sovryn Dollar is designed to be an ultra-reliable and secure decentralized stablecoin. DLLR is aggregated from other bitcoin-backed stablecoins and pegged to the USD. The Sovryn dollar maintains significantly over-collateralized reserves of BTC to ensure that it is always redeemable for BTC by any holder. It cannot be censored as there is no middleman, does not rely on bank deposits like USDC, and is not algorithmic like Terra UST.

Sovryn Dollar was designed to be secure, highly liquid and convenient. It can easily be converted to Bitcoin, USD or other stable coins, making it a great form of payment and diversified capital that will always remain liquid. One of the main advantages of the Sovryn Dollar is its low gas fees, which enable cost-effective transactions without compromising stability and reliability. Low-cost transactions are further enhanced with Lightning Network integration.

Bitcoin-backed stablecoins have an important role to play in expanding the use cases for Bitcoin. Despite the growing use of Bitcoin, many potential users currently prefer stable coins for low-risk payments and savings. This use of centralized USD-pegged digital assets is particularly prevalent in emerging economies. As a result, many of the most financially vulnerable people are exposed to the many risks of current stablecoins. Bitcoin-backed stablecoins give these users the benefits of Bitcoin, without wild price swings and volatility.

Bitcoin-backed stablecoins are a new class of stablecoin. The Sovryn Dollar acts as a standard for this class of stablecoins by combining them into a single coin for deeper liquidity and stability. Built on Bitcoin layer2, Sovryn Dollar is issued by the Sovryn Mynt protocol and unites existing BTC-backed stablecoin issuance protocols, Money-on-Chain and Zero, with additional protocols to be added in the future.

“The market is flooded with unstable and risky stablecoins. Sovryn Dollar provides users with a safer and permissionless alternative,” said Sovryn Core Contributor, Edan Yago. “DLLR is a fully transparent, censorship-resistant and truly stable currency built on Bitcoin that we believe will revolutionize stablecoin- the market.”

Sovryn’s DLLR provides users with a real alternative to centralized stablecoins such as Tether, USDC or BUSD. Leveraging Bitcoin’s decentralized architecture, Sovryn offers a truly censorship-resistant stablecoin that is reliable, secure and convenient.
